Employment contractIn Arabic: عقد العمل
Definition
An agreement between an employer and an employee under which the employee undertakes to work under the employer's management and supervision in return for a wage. GCC labour laws set the contract's form, its term and the particulars it must contain.
How it varies across the GCC
Fixed/unlimited-term rules vary.
The rules that apply to a specific matter depend on the state, any free zone involved and the current text of the law, so check the official source before relying on them.
